Jonathan, or better known as H2O Delirious, disappeared from YouTube months ago. The Delirious Army and his closest friends were devastated from not being able to hear his infamous laugh. It made videos feel incomplete without him. Not even his friend Luke heard a single word from before he left.

No one was near devastated as his best friend, Evan. He truly missed that psycho ray of sunshine. It had the most affect on him seeing that even he slowed down with videos. Every time he uploaded a new video, he wasn't proud of it. He felt it was inappropriate to continue uploading without his best friend. To say he was depressed would be an understatement at this point. Behind the screen, Jon was his single source of happiness, next to his friends and subscribers.

Evan needed to find his happiness again.

He flew out to North Carolina to find Jon, hoping he was still there or somewhere near. Luke didn't stop him, but he didn't encourage him either. He believed that if he couldn't find Jon, Evan wouldn't be able to either. This however didn't stop Evan's main goal right now.

As a couple days passed, there still was no luck in finding Evan's little clown. Luke and Evan contacted all the people they could think of that would have the slightest knowledge on Jon's whereabouts. But to no avail, they were unsuccessful. The two were tired looking around Greensboro. They took turns driving, taking breaks here and there. Evan was the most tired since he never used his breaks to sleep. But the thought of Jon missing was keeping him going.

"Evan, you sure you don't wanna sleep for a bit?"

"He has to be out there somewhere, man!" Evan yelled. "I can't be taking naps!"

"Dude, I wanna find him as much as you do ok? He's my boy." Luke tried calming down the younger male. "But you and I both know you need some rest."

That's when Evan stomped on the break of his car, luckily they were back in front of Luke's home. "Then you get some rest." Evan said a bit coldly. "I'll keep looking. I'll be fine."

Evan didn't stare at Luke saying this. The older male was hesitant at first seeing that it was almost midnight. But it was obvious he wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer. Luke gave a reassuring pat on Evan's back before leaving. "Go get 'em. Stay safe man."

Since Greensboro was not an option now, Evan searched other cities of North Carolina with still no sign of his best friend. Couple hours passed after midnight struck. Evan was getting cold, so he went to a diner that was open to find some sort of warmth. He just hoped Jon wasn't as cold as he was right now.

The door of the diner jingled open. Evan scanned the semi-empty diner, hoping he would be in here as well. Unfortunately he didn't see that familiar face only he and Luke knew. Evan sat at the bar waiting for someone to take his order. He wasn't particularly hungry, so he just asked for a cup of coffee.

Evan sat there, alone this time. No one to keep him distracted from his depressing thoughts. He was so deep into thought, he didn't even notice the stranger that sat next to him. "You guys selling cheeseburgers right now?"

A shot of nostalgia blasted through his mind. His best friend laughing, the way he reacted to the shark eating a cheeseburger, even his voice sounded almost exactly the same as him.

Evan looked up at the stranger next to him without moving his head. He wore a dark blue hoodie that only made half of his nose to his chin visible. This stranger was just as pale as Jon, but in a sickly way. He was way too skinny to be the person Evan hoped he would be.

When the waiter came back to give him his food, he thanked him and followed it with a soft, low chuckle, similar to Jon's. Now Evan fully believed he was going crazy, it couldn't have been him. The stranger rolled up his sleeves to begin eating, revealing several cuts on both his pale arms.

This man felt Evan's brown eyes on him and awkwardly turned to face him. He reacted in a very unusual way, as if he knew who Evan was. The stranger turned back to his food and continued eating, trying not to acknowledge Evan's presence. Evan noticed his pale face started casting a pink hue on his skin. He wondered why. He gulped and decided to ask: "Mister?" The stranger continued to eat. "Have you seen this man?" Evan stuck out his phone to the man's face, revealing a picture of Jon, when he was still healthy.

The stranger only shook his head and continued eating. Evan sighed, he expected that answer. "Ok, thank you anyway.." He left the small payment for his coffee and decided to leave the diner.

Evan took out the car keys, ready to go back out into the bitter cold night. The moment he stepped out the diner however, he felt cold hands grip his wrist, pulling him far away from the diner. "What the fu-" The same stranger covered his mouth with his other hand.

"Why are you here?!" That's when Evan recognized his voice. His brown eyes widened as the stranger pulled down his hoodie, revealing a skinnier, more sickly Jonathan.

"J-Jon-" He covered his mouth again before he could question further.

Jon sighed, he thought his friends would've forgotten him by now. "Let's talk about this else were." He examined Evan up and down, thinking he was going to scream or yell when he lets go. Instead, Evan pulled him in for a hug. His best friend was overwhelmed with happiness.

Jon directed Evan as he drove. They ended up at a forest outside of the current town they were in. Jon could tell Evan was unsure of where or why they were here. He just squeezed his best friend's hand that wasn't on the wheel for reassurance. "I'll explain soon, I promise."

When Jon told Evan to stop the car, they ended up at a very tall tree. Past it was a cliff that had a view of the rest of the forest. After Jon stepped out of the car, he beckoned Evan over to the tree. "I haven't been living hear if that's what you what you think." Jon chuckled and sat against the trunk of the tree.

Evan followed as well. "Then why'd you disappear on us?"

"I.. I have nothing left."

"Of course you do!" Evan scooted closer, putting a hand over his best friend's shoulder. "You have us, your subscribers, your fam-"

"Don't even finish that sentence, Evan." Jon said coldly.

"H-huh?"

"My family is the reason for these." Jon rolled up his sleeves and revealed his cuts again. "And don't even say you were there either, because you weren't! You-"

"I was always there for you, Jon!"

"Not when all of this was happening! You were always off with Craig or Tyler or what's her face? Sydney?!" Jon started to yell. "Remember when you pretended like I didn't exist for months?!"

Evan noticed how much pain was burning in Jon's icy blue eyes. The guilt started to eat at him alive. "J-Jon I'm sorry I-"

"Do you know why I hate myself even more?! It's because I know you don't feel the same way I do.." Jon began to sob into Evan's neck. "But I'll forgive you.. no matter how much of a dick you are to me."

Evan knew exactly what he meant. He just wished he would've known earlier. Maybe then he would still be on YouTube making his subscribers laugh, making his best friends laugh. Probably even his lover. The younger hugged his poor best friend softly, as if he was a delicate new born. He wanted to speak up, but he felt every word he had stop at his throat, not wanting to come out.

"Evan?" Jon looked up into his dark brown eyes. Evan's face began to heat up as they stared intimately into each other's eyes. He saw Jon slowly come closer to his face. His lips just barely touching his cold ones. Evan didn't retreat. Instead he closed his eyes and let Jon close the gap. Jon caressed Evan's face as he was held tightly by his strong arms.

Something called oxygen was calling for the two after a couple more seconds so Jon pulled away. "I love you, that's all I wanted you to know before I do this.."

Evan was confused. "Do what?"

Jon got out of Evan's arms and began walking backwards towards the cliff. The moment this happened, Evan instantly missed Jon's warmth. He began to worry watching Jon walk backwards.

Jon was three feet away from meeting the end of the cliff. Though, the more Evan walked towards him, the more Jon took a step back. "Jon, don't do this!" Tears started running down his cheek.

A twisted smile crept Jon's face. "Why shouldn't I?"

"Because I love you!" The words that tried to come out earlier finally left Evan's voice. He hoped it was enough to get stop him.

A body of water started coming into view the closer they got to the end. Evan's heart was racing... while Jon's was the most calm.

"I love you too, Evan." Jon took his final step back and fell into the water.

I guess he really did live up to his name.

"JON!!" Evan ran after his friend, bracing for impact into the cold water.

Jon's body was in sight not that far from the surface. Evan held his breathe and swam to his body. Though, the longer Evan took to swim to it, the farther Jon's body fell. He was just several inches from Jon's hand sticking out. His body started begging for oxygen, he knew he wasn't going to make it back up to the surface in time.

Just as the Evan met Jon's body, his blue eyes opened back up to meet his. He smiled one last time at his best friend before being pulled into a cold embrace.

It was the last thing Jon wanted to feel before falling into a slumber he wouldn't wake up from.

Come on, come on. Save me from my rocking boat, I just wanna stay afloat. I'm all alone.
And if you feel you're sinking I will jump right over into cold, cold water for you.

And I hope someone's gonna take me home, somewhere I can rest my soul.
And although time may take us into different places, I will still be patient with you.

I need to know
I hope you know

You won't let go.
I won't let go.

I'll be your lifeline tonight.
